Tuesday's Statewide Primary Election for U.S. House of Representatives District 17 saw incumbent Mike Honda and political newcomer Ro Khanna achieve the top vote totals, and they will battle again in November.

Facing the most contested campaign of his political life in a district covering Fremont, Newark, Milpitas, Sunnyvale, Cupertino and San Jose, Honda received 28,136 votes, or 48.6 percent of votes cast.

Khanna, a former Obama administration official, took 15,691 votes or 27.1 percent of votes cast.

Their Republican challengers -- Vanila Singh, a Stanford physician, and Joel Vanlandingham, an executive recruiter -- were knocked out of contention. Singh received 9,783 votes, or 16.9 percent of the vote, while Vanlandingham took 4,248 earned votes, or 7.3 percent of votes cast.

"I'm humbled to have so much support from the voters in Silicon Valley for me to continue my record of delivering for all the constituents of my district -- not just the most fortunate," Honda, 72, said in a written statement to supporters Tuesday. "This win tonight belongs to the thousands of grassroots volunteers and donors who support this campaign. Without you, this decisive victory would not have happened. Congratulations to Ro Khanna on advancing to the general election. I want to thank both Vanila Singh and Joel VanLandingham for their spirited campaigns. I wish them both all the best in their next endeavors."

In the race for the 25th Assembly District, four Democrats and a Republican vied for a seat that covers southern Fremont, Milpitas, Newark, Berryessa, Alviso, North San Jose and Santa Clara.

San Jose City Councilmember Kansen Chu received 10,579 votes, or 29.8 percent of the votes cast, while Republican Bob Brunton, a former Ohlone College trustee, received 8,483 votes, or 23.9 percent of votes cast.

Behind them, current Ohlone College trustee Teresa Cox earned 6,033 votes, or 17 percent of votes cast, while Milpitas City Councilman Armando Gomez, took 5,861 votes or 16.5 percent. Craig Steckler, a former Fremont chief of police, received 4,561 votes, or 12.8 percent of votes cast.

"I'm happy," Chu, 61, said. "I'm still recovering a little bit."

Chu added that he attributed his Tuesday night top-spot to his years of service working with the community as a San Jose official.

"Voters are smart. They've seen it and they voted," he said.

Chu said, however, that he was disappointed with the low voter turnout, particularly in Santa Clara County, where only 20.64 percent of voters showed.

"It bothers me," Chu said. "I don't know if people lost confidence in elected officials. ... I really encourage people that if they are not happy with the government to get out to the polls and let their voices be heard."

Chu attributed Brunton's success to garnering support from elected officials in southern Alameda County.

Regardless, Chu said he believes the district leans more Democratic and as such hopes to gather greater support than Brunton in the general election.

"I hope to continue my positive campaign," Chu said.
